Security officials snatched a “Trump won” flag from at least two spectators, one of whom was a former personality on the right-wing radio show InfoWars, at a Texas Rangers baseball game on Sunday.
Video evidence showed Owen Shroyer, a former commentator for Alex Jones’s conspiracy-laden program, and at least one other individual unfurling a large flag that read, “Trump won, save America,” at Globe Life Park in Arlington, Texas, as the Rangers took on the Seattle Mariners. Within moments, multiple authorities approached Shroyer and demanded he “take this flag down immediately” before the insignia was grabbed.
The conservative figure remarked, “You cannot take my flag.”

“You know, your election got stolen too,” he added. “Everyone’s election got stolen, and Americans should be more upset that our election got stolen than if we have a flag.”
Eventually, authorities escorted Shroyer and his companion up a staircase away from the stadium’s stands as one security member said they would await law enforcement from the Arlington Police Department to sort out the incident.
“They called the cops. I held a sign at a baseball game, and they’re calling the cops,” he said later in the video.
However, it did “not appear that there were any incidents at the ballpark Sunday afternoon that resulted in a police report being filed or an arrest being made,” a spokesperson for APD told the Washington Examiner in an email, adding that stadium security often solves similar incidents on its own.
The Rangers later indicated the two men were asked to leave the park.
“We asked them to take the sign down,” the Major League Baseball organization told the Fort Worth Star-Telegram. “They were then asked to leave the park.”

President Joe Biden garnered 306 electoral votes in the November 2020 race, besting former President Donald Trump, who earned 232 electoral votes. Top election officials and voting software brass throughout the country have affirmed the validity of the results, though Trump and many of his allies have sought to contest the tally through several lawsuits. The vast majority of those have been tossed out by federal courts.
